Descripción

We show why the goal of our Christian walk is not to “reach” Jesus but to look more like Him, and we ground that in John 1 where Jesus is revealed as the Word. We share simple, repeatable ways to read Scripture daily and learn to spot God’s character across every book, even the hard ones.  • Member shout-out focused on ministers’ spouses and the unseen ways they serve  • John 1:1 and John 1:14 and why Jesus is the Word  • Reframing “getting closer to Christ” as becoming more like Christ  • Finding Jesus across Genesis to Revelation, including Leviticus  • The Bible Recap as a daily plan and the “God shot” lens  • Multiple ways to read Scripture: audio listening, deep study with notes, and praying the text

Ep 111 | Should Christians Stop and Enjoy?

We celebrate a behind-the-scenes picture of servant-hearted love for a local school, then pivot to a question we all face: how do we find real joy when life stays busy? We wrestle with what Scripture says about work, rest, Sabbath, and community so we can stop sprinting through our days and start enjoying God and his people.  • member shout-out for Scott Gaylon and Brett Gabbart serving teachers and kids during a tough week at the elementary school  • why summer busyness feels different but still demands wisdom  • learning to breathe again after years of church transition and growth  • the biblical case for enjoyment through Sabbath and Ecclesiastes  • noticing the season God has allotted rather than rushing past it  • how men often need to relearn healthy friendship and true fun  • the difference between real joy and counterfeit comfort through distraction or substances  • a simple daily practice to reset your heart toward gratitude and worship  • choosing journey-minded faith over destination-only living

Ep 110 | Should Christians Gossip?

We talk about why gossip is treated like a “small” sin, even though it separates us from God and tears apart the Christian community. We break down how gossip shows up in church life and online, what it produces in our hearts, and what Scripture says to do instead.  • member shout-out for Russell Lightner and the behind-the-scenes work that serves the church  • why gossip feels normal in culture and why that makes it easy to excuse  • disunity as the first fruit of gossip, even when everyone agrees  • anger and a hardened heart as hidden outcomes of repeated gossip  • how gossip harms people long after the conversation ends  • gossip as a counterfeit for real relationships and emotional maturity  • Matthew 18 as a simple path for handling conflict directly  • Ephesians 4:25-32 as a guide for truthful speech that builds up  • a practical filter for speech and posts: permissible vs beneficial

Ep 108 | Why the Church Center App?

We explain why we adopt the Church Center app and how it solves real communication gaps for both longtime members and brand-new visitors. We share practical features, biblical reasons for choosing what benefits others, and how one simple tool can strengthen unity across generations.  • member shout-out for Bertha Ninham and her shut-in ministry  • the challenge of keeping everyone informed across email, bulletins, announcements, and social media  • why new people can feel left out when groups rely on existing relationships  • how the Church Center app centralizes the Sunday bulletin, campus map, giving, and church calendar  • community groups features like joining, calendars, chat, prayer requests, and simple coordination  • using freedom to serve others through technology with Matthew 7:12 and 1 Corinthians 10:23-24  • resources and sign-ups through the app, including weekly prompts and family table talk  • the reminder that the app is a tool, not a requirement for active membership
